The Best Spices and Herbs for Beef

Fresh Herbs

Fresh herbs taste best when sprinkled over meat just before serving. The following fresh herbs taste fantastic with steak, burgers and any grilled beef:

Chives

Basil

Cilantro

Parsley

Mixed herbs – for example pesto or ‘chimichurri’, which is an Argentinian sauce made with oil, vinegar and finely chopped parsley, oregano and garlic.

Dried Herbs

Dried herbs taste great on roast beef or added to stews, casseroles and braises. Don’t forget that dried herbs are more potent than fresh herbs – typically, you will need 3 x the amount of fresh herbs as dried herbs. Dried herbs that taste particularly amazing with beef include:

Rosemary

Oregano

Tarragon

Thyme

Bay leaves (for stew, curries and casseroles)

Spices

Spices can be added directly to beef before cooking or added to braising pots, stews, curries and casseroles. If you are creating a dry beef rub, we recommend that you use a mix of herbs, spices and salt/pepper, and that you let the rub soak in for a few hours before cooking.
